By filling the street with running bulls?How does the view out of the window get better than this?
I've stayed at both Casa Ibarrola and Albergue de Pamplona which also has "pod" style beds.On a related note, the Pamplona albergue I booked has somewhat private cubicles rather than traditional bunk beds, in case some find those appealing. https://www.casaibarrola.com/
Owners will appreciate that. Booking.com and the like are a necessary evil but direct booking is a win-win for owner and guestOn a related note, the Pamplona albergue I booked has somewhat private cubicles rather than traditional bunk beds, in case some find those appealing. https://www.casaibarrola.com/
Another thing to note for the budget conscious - I booked my bed on booking.com, and it cost 25 euros. I just noticed on their website that the price is 19 euros, so cheaper if you book directly. That's probably the case for lots of other albergues as well. I'm aware of the commission that booking.com charges, so not surprised to see a cheaper fee when booking direct (although technically I think that's violating the agreement with booking.com, as properties aren't generally allowed to undercut the booking.com rates).
I think I'll cancel my booking.com reservation and rebook it directly, and save myself a few euros.
So have I, back in Oct last year. Albergue de Pamplona is also called Irunako Atapea Albergue, just to complicate things.I've stayed at both Casa Ibarrola and Albergue de Pamplona which also has "pod" style beds.
Opinion does vary on that matter; but not for here.By filling the street with running bulls?
I would always recommend the Albergue Jesus y Maria, just around the corner from the Cathedral. Excellent bunk beds and great facilities.I wanted to send out recommendations while I was still on the trail. This is a great option for an Albergue in Pamplona. Directly beside cathedral situated in the middle of downtown with great bed options. We stayed overnight but loved the private triple room, with a bathroom just outside the door. Very clean and private and comfortable. Price was also several euros cheaper than the other Albergue down the street. I think the individual beds were about 17 euros. And in case your interested or desperate like we were there is a Burger King around the corner. How does the view out of the window get better than this?
You aren't required to close the shades/curtains all the way in the pods.I loved the idea of the pods but I wouldn’t recommend them for anyone with the slightest bit of claustrophobia. Until the pods, I had only experienced this in a MRI.

I largely agree that there may be no violation and I'd make sure I know the facts before I think aloud and insinuate that a named albergue is violating their business agreements ...No, technically and legally these lodgings are not violating any agreement with the booking sites.
Didn't they move during the Covid lockdowns to somewhere that isn't subject to flooding? I enjoyed my stay there in 2019, very Germanic, but the river floods often and when it does the albergue is damaged.Casa Paderborn is open for the season. Located the riverside, head to your left after crossing the medieval bridge. That's before going uphill to the old city and cathedral. Nevertheless located very close to everything, about 10 minutes to walk down town.
It's a traditional pilgrims` albergue: walk-in only, no reservations accepted.
The cost is now 7,50 € for the bed, plus 3,50 € for breakfast.

By the way, I heard Jesus y Maria will not open before the Easter this year.
The city has been using it as a shelter for more needy people during the winter months.
We stayed in Casa Paderborn end of March last yearDidn't they move during the Covid lockdowns to somewhere that isn't subject to flooding? I enjoyed my stay there in 2019, very Germanic, but the river floods often and when it does the albergue is damaged.
Is the Albergue still situated down by the river?We stayed in Casa Paderborn end of March last year

Yes, same location as in 2010Is the Albergue still situated down by the river?
No, they did not move. During the pandemic they were closed for a while. Yes, the river has been causing problems repeatedly and there are talks with the city of Pamplona to move in the future. But to this time Casa Paderborn is still on the riverside, just below the old town.Didn't they move during the Covid lockdowns to somewhere that isn't subject to flooding?

I stayed with them two nights ago. They've had to do extensive renovation works since the flood and the building is still vulnerable. Bur lovely welcoming and gentle atmosphere, two very kind and caring hospitaleras..
